Eugene, formerly of K-pop girl group SES, says her starring role in new MBC TV weekend drama "Creating Destiny" is her comeback on TV after a year's absence. In a recent interview during the photo shoot for the poster, Eugene said the new drama is "novel and fun and can be enjoyed by people of all ages."

Eugene plays a soon-to-be lawyer who moved to Australia when young. "She and I are similar in that we both left Korea at an early age," she said. "Her situation, background and personality are all similar to mine. That's probably why I didn't think it was too difficult when I read the script. I think my experience of spending my teen years in Guam will help me immensely with the role."

She has many lines in English. "Even though I spent my youth abroad, English is still difficult. I think I need to practice a lot. I felt as if I was reading off a book, not acting, when I was practicing the lines. I'm going to have to read the script over and over and practice it a lot. I try to regain the feel of English by speaking in English with friends," she said. Eugene added the role resembles her most out of all the characters she has played so far.

After finishing the film "Yoga," Eugene has been taking a break. Since she debuted as a member of SES in 1997 until the dissolution of the group in 2002, she was the pixie of the K-pop scene. Since then, she successfully moved from singing to acting. The first episode of "Creating Destiny" will be aired on Oct. 10.

This is Jung Seok-won, a 24-year-old new actor who has been cast in Eugene’s new weekend drama Creating Destiny. He takes on the role of a freelance cameraman and Ki Tae-young’s friend. At the October 6 press conference for the drama, Jung explained that before turning to acting, he had been a stuntman and was hired to stand in for Lee Dong-wook. It was on that set that he first saw Eugene and took a photo with her, and now he’s excited to be working with her as an actor. (This must have been fairly recently with their 2008 movie Heartbreak Library.)

Jung also recalled his younger days when SES (Eugene’s old pop group) was a huge hit, when everyone carried around fan photos and paraphernalia. Of the group, he used to carry around Eugene’s photo: “I’m thrilled to be acting with her.”

Jung Seok-won has had small parts in drama productions like Brilliant Legacy, The World They Live In, and Working Mom, but already he senses the difference with this role: “In the past I would read the script and search through it, thinking, ‘When am I coming out?’ This time I don’t do that, and although I feel a bit of a burden, I feel very good.”

The story is about Hang Sang Eun (Eugene) who moved to Canada at a young age. She returns to Korea all grown up, presenting an American boyfriend to her family. As her parents had hopes of their daughter marrying someone Korean, they were not pleased with what she had brought home. The family tries their best in setting her up Kim Yeo Joon played by Ki Tae Young, thus 'creating their destiny.'
